On 6 October 2025, the European Banking Authority
("EBA") published its report entitled
"Tackling ML/TF Risks in Crypto-Asset Services Through
Supervision" (the "Report").
The Report summarises key findings and lessons learned from
actions taken by national competent authorities and the EBA
regarding the identification and management of money laundering and
terrorist financing (ML/TF) risks associated with crypto-asset
businesses.
The Report highlights the importance of robust anti-money
laundering and countering the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT)
compliance for crypto-asset service providers and offers guidance
to competent authorities on future supervisory approaches to
address identified weaknesses in AML controls, governance and
transparency within the EU crypto-asset sector.
